Car-Port Preacher
I just wanted to share a testimony of how God has helped us to exceed our pledge of $1,000.00.

Pies in the Face for BGMC
I have started a fad at our church the past three months and the offerings in BGMC have gone from about 12 to 15 dollars a month, to 195 dollars last month and 103 dollars the month before.

Newsletter Makes A Difference
This past month I took the opportunity to read from the BGMC Newsletter the letters written by the missionaries on how they used the BGMC offerings.

Stuffing a Bug for BGMC
I recently bought a New VW Beetle. So we are going to break the world record of the most people in a VW Beetle.

Wheel of Blessing
We have been using a "Wheel of Blessing" (Wheel of Fortune) in our Children's Church. Each child that brings in their barrel gets to spin the wheel.

But God, That's a Lot of Money

"But God, that's a lot of money," said a little boy named
Joshua Keck from Colchester,
Illinois. Josh had asked God how
much money He wanted him to give to BGMC as a faith promise for the year. God
told Josh to pledge $1,000. That's a lot of money for a seven-year-old, but God
said he could do it.

Several kids made fun of Josh, saying it was silly to think
he could do that much for God. But Josh knew that he could do anything with
God's help. He made his faith promise and then God began to move.

Josh worked and worked. He sold stuff and washed cars. He
wrote to people he knew and asked them if they would be willing to help with
his pledge. Money began to come in. Josh earned more money and worked harder.
Eventually Josh had raised over $800. Then a friend of the family donated some
windows. "Let's take them to the auction," Josh's dad said. "Maybe someone will
buy them, and we can use the extra money towards your faith promise." Upon
dropping the windows off at the auction, the dad told the auctioneer, "Get
whatever you can for these. My boys are earning money for missions." The auctioneer
heard the whole story and related it to the crowd. Well, over the $200 needed
came in to help Josh meet his goal. As a result of this and all his hard work,
Josh gave over $1,000 to BGMC that year. This all happened because a boy prayed
and told God he was willing, and then followed God's voice.
